ELVIS NEVER LEAVES Madonna (1) Madonna (2) THEBUILDING Photographer to the would-be stars, Brian Howell explores the ethos of pathos in Fame Us or a while it looked as if the Niftiest Title of the Year Award was going to go to Eau Canada, a book from UBC Press about Canada’s water supply. Then along came Brian Howell’s cleverly titled Fame Us (Arsenal $21.95), a photo Jack Nicholson (3) Jack Nicholson (4) study of celebrity impersonators. FBrian Howell’s quest to create a photo gallery of look-a-like “tribute artists” was sparked by his unplanned encounter with an Elvis impersonator at a Sunday gospel meeting in the Fraser Valley Bible Belt in 2002. Having previously published One Ring Circus, a photo study of the small-time pro wrestling circuit in the Pacific Northwest, Howell instinctively moved from one fan- tasy world to the next. By the time he attended a real-life wedding between a Shania Twain imper- sonator and an Arnold Schwarzenegger wannabe in 2004, Howell was hooked. Technically, there’s little that is noteworthy about Howell’s pictures. It’s his non- judgemental approach to the subcultures of pro wrestling and showbiz impersonators that makes his work both appealing and beguiling. In his introduction to Fame Us: Celebrity Impersonators and the Cult(ure) of Fame, Stephen Osborne suggests Elvis was the catalyst for the burgeoning of the Hilary Clinton (5) Hilary Clinton (6) look-a-like subculture. “Until the death of Elvis,” he writes, “an impersonator was a deceiver, a con-man or fraud artist (as the newspapers like to say), or a character in a drama; but now impersonators are legitimate entertainers in their own right.” Many of the images in Fame Us are derived from Howell’s attendance at the Celeb- rity Impersonators Convention at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas—where the dealers are celebrity impersonators—as well as a reciprocal annual convention in Florida.

    Portail de l'éducation de Historica Canada Canada's Game - The Modern Era Overview This lesson plan is based on viewing the Footprints videos for Gordie Howe, Bobby Orr, Father David Bauer, Bobby Hull,Wayne Gretzky, and The Forum. Throughout hockey's history, though they are not presented in the Footprints, francophone players like Guy Lafleur, Mario Lemieux, Raymond Bourque, Jacques Lemaire, and Patrick Roy also made a significant contribution to the sport. Parents still watch their children skate around cold arenas before the sun is up and backyard rinks remain national landmarks. But hockey is no longer just Canada's game. Now played in cities better known for their golf courses than their ice rinks, hockey is an international game. Hockey superstars and hallowed ice rinks became national icons as the game matured and Canadians negotiated their role in the modern era. Aims To increase student awareness of the development of the game of hockey in Canada; to increase student recognition of the contributions made by hockey players as innovators and their contributions to the game; to examine their accomplishments in their historical context; to explore how hockey has evolved into the modern game; to understand the role of memory and commemoration in our understanding of the past and present; and to critically investigate myth-making as a way of understanding the game’s relationship to national identity. Background Frozen fans huddled in the open air and helmet-less players battled for the puck in a -28 degree Celsius wind chill. The festive celebration was the second-ever outdoor National Hockey League game, held on 22 November 2003.

    Legislative Library of British Columbia Background Paper 2007: 02 / May 2007 British Columbia 1858 Nearly 150 years ago, the land that would become the province of British Columbia was transformed. The year – 1858 – saw the creation of a new colony and the sparking of a gold rush that dramatically increased the local population. Some of the future province’s most famous and notorious early citizens arrived during that year. As historian Jean Barman wrote: in 1858, “the status quo was irrevocably shattered.” Prepared by Emily Yearwood-Lee Reference Librarian Legislative Library of British Columbia LEGISLATIVE LIBRARY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA BACKGROUND PAPERS AND BRIEFS ABOUT THE PAPERS Staff of the Legislative Library prepare background papers and briefs on aspects of provincial history and public policy.

  • Settler Anxiety and State Support for Missionary Schooling in Colonial British Columbia, 1849–1871
    57 Historical Studies in Education / Revue d’histoire de l’éducation ARTICLES / ARTICLES Settler Anxiety and State Support for Missionary Schooling in Colonial British Columbia, 1849–1871 Sean Carleton Mount Royal University ABSTRACT Indigenous peoples and settlers engaged in innumerable conflicts in the colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia between 1849 and 1871. The constant threat of violent Indigenous resistance to settler colonization in the Pacific Northwest — both real and imag- ined — produced feelings of anxiety for settlers, especially state officials, that shaped colonial strategy and statecraft. To buttress colonial security, the nascent state partnered with Christian missionaries in the hope that missionaries could use education to cultivate the goodwill of Indigenous peoples and train them to accept colonization. The state’s support for early mis- sionary schooling in colonial British Columbia is examined in the context of settler anxieties regarding three instances of Indigenous resistance: a Lekwungen convergence at Fort Victoria in 1851, the Puget Sound War of 1855–56, and the 1864 Tsilhqot'in War. In different ways, settler anxiety over these conflicts acted as a catalyst, prodding the state to support mission- ary schooling as a financially expeditious way of trying to contain Indigenous resistance and safeguard colonial security. RÉSUMÉ Entre 1849 et 1871, les colonies de l’île de Vancouver et de la Colombie-Britannique sont le lieu d’innombrables conflits entre les peuples autochtones et les colons. La menace constante — réelle et imaginaire — d’une résistance violente des Autochtones à la colonisation dans le nord-ouest du Pacifique a engendré un sentiment d’anxiété chez les colons, et en parti- culier chez les fonctionnaires de l’État, ce qui a façonné la stratégie et la gestion coloniale.
